I received my first tutorial on voice. Each of us has one. Each voice is distinct and has something to say. Each voice deserves to be heard. But it requires the act of listening.
In the excerpt from "When Women Were Birds," the author emphasizes the uniqueness of each person's voice, highlighting that everyone has something meaningful to share. The idea is that every voice is special and holds importance, deserving of attention and acknowledgment.
Williams also stresses the importance of listening to these voices. Simply having a voice isn’t enough; truly hearing and understanding others is essential to appreciating their stories and perspectives. Listening is portrayed as a vital act that brings these distinct voices to life and fosters connection.
